11th passing imperial stout with toasted macadamia, pistachio, hazelnut, oats, Burial coffee, Methodical coffee, Medjool dates, orange zest, smoked sea salt, and cognac barrel-aged Ghanan and Mexican vanilla beans.
For selfish purposes. The sanctity of thinking for none. The urgency of everything. The uselessness of caring too much. For capturing tiny bouts of laughter. And being with them infinitely. A blend of 3 Imperial Stout bases, aged with 11 different things of beauty. House roasted Macadamia, Pistachio and Hazelnut, toasted oats, Burial Daytime Coffee Blend, Methodical Coffee Blend, aged Medjool dates, fresh orange zest, smoked sea salt and a blend of Ghanan and Mexican vanilla beans aged in a Cognac barrel. A delicate thunder of festivity falls under this veil of flavorful Holiday rum cake, a box of assorted chocolate truffles, and salted caramel over vanilla bean soft serve with crushed nuts.

500ml bottle. Poured out an opaque, jet-black color with a small, light brown head of foam. It left thin rings of lace on the glass. It smelled of bourbon, oak, vanilla, coffee and dried fruits. Sweet bourbon taste with roasted coffee, vanilla, dark chocolate and some fig.
